Episode 11 | From Panic to Peace: in Tuscany with Marcus Eaton

In this heart-opening episode of Journey to Joy, Lisa sits down with internationally acclaimed musician Marcus Eaton, who left behind the chaos of L.A. and the comfort of familiarity to follow an inner calling to Italy. In this conversation, Marcus shares the deeply human story behind leaving Los Angeles and following an inner pull to Italy — not because life was perfect, but because it wasn’t working. He opens up about panic attacks, identity shedding, ego death, and the quiet courage it takes to bet on your soul when logic says stay safe. Together, we explore what really shifts when you stop gripping, stop forcing, and finally allow life to support you. This episode is a reminder that transformation isn’t a leap into the unknown — it’s a return to yourself.

Where am I gripping life out of fear — and what would open if I softened instead?
